Well I got some pictures but they are not much to see. Once you seen a hull sanded, it looks basically the same until something visually changes. I didn't shoot the primer coat today because as I was sanding with some 220 grit, I found a little void in the fiberglass and as I opened it up, it turn into a large pocket. So out came the air grinder file and I ground that pocket open until I got to some solid fiberglass material. Then I mixed up some poly and Cabosil and filled it in. So now I have to let that cure and sand it out. Here are a few shots of that.
A shot from the front. That isn't the pocket area I filled, but you can see the sanded hull ready for another coat of primer.
Here is that pocket I opened up. Yes it is in the same area as another one I had to fill previously. It won't take long to feather that in once cured. I did forget to use some Surfacing Wax in the poly putty mix, so it is going to be sticky at first.
That pocket is on the very right hand side in this transom shot. Can't really see it too good. he transom is now sanded as wel and ready for the second primer coat.
I know it looks rough. But believe me, it is silky smooth now. Of course the darker areas were the highs and the gray areas were the low areas. But since all of them have been sanded, they all are basically the same level now...I hope. :facepalm:
And you can see how bad this hull was with so many different shades of colors. Trying to make it level and smooth is a daunting task. I know it is better then original. but not really a showboat by any stretch.
